and an hour was spent In consultation, during which he explained the points he desired covered in the preliminary report. It may be weeks, pofiiblj months, before the complete report Is ready. Professor Sehurman, who is president of the commission, said after the members left the White House that the report to be made thisi week would cover certain phases of the situation which the President desires Cleared up at this time. When asked if the report would touch upon the so-called Sulu treaty (the arrangement made between General Bates and the Sultan of Sulu), Professor Schurman retfied in the negative. "That was purely a military arrangement." said he, "with which the commission had nothing to Co." Secretary Hay and Secretary Root were present ut the conference. The commijsloners made a full verbal report tothe President forecasting in brief the forma! report that Is to be prepared. Each of the members talked in turn, not only upon the general features of the forthcoming report, but treatlr.fr more in detail of a certain line of subjects upon which he was fully informed, for it appears that the commission while in the Philippines took the course of dividing into subcommittees of one, each assuming a special branch of inquiry. The significant feature of this morning's conference was the revelation that the commission is absolutely unanimous In its view respecting the proper line of treatment of the Islands. A member of the Cabinet, speaking of the verbal report, said; "In advance of the completion of the report It is- not deemed proper to make any statement relative to the nature of the commission's disclosures to the President this morning beyond the Ceneral one that they tend to confirm the administration at every point In the course of treatment It has outlined for the Islands jnd to remove the least doubt as to the attitude that the government should assume on the question of the retention of the archipelago." A IlrltUli View. LONDON. Xcv. 2. The Morning Post hi an editorial commenting upon a dispatch from Its Washington correspondent, who eays that the United States advisory commission, has reported to President McKln'.ey unanimously in favor of retaining the Philippines, says: "We rejoice that the commission, has taken smch a practical view of the matter and Irvst that the country will Indorse It both at the State and presidential elections."

SIMPLY IV All FARE. AitBTTcr to ChurKea Agalnut AntrrIcnnn In the Philippines. ' MARSH FIELD, Wis,, Nov. L Sergt. Charles Wodak has returned from the Philippines after a service of thirteen months In the signal corps. At the time of his departure he was operator at General Ottsfs heaOauarters. With reference to the charge frequently made that the American hoWIvm loot and plunder Catholic churches on the Islands, the young officer said: 'There Is nc opportunity for them to do bo. even If the disposition was there. When the churches are deserted by the natives at the approach of our troops there 13 never anything left of value. As to the structured themselves, they are never destroyed except when the Insurgents convert them into fortresses. In order to rout them out the buildings are bombarded ar.d torn by shot and shell. This is warfare pure and Hmple, iind could hardly be called willful desecration of church property." VIEWS OP A PHIEST. lie Says the Filipino Are Incapable of Melf-Government. MARYVILLE. Mo., Nov. 1. Rev. Father P. O. Russell, who was a volunteer chaplain of the reserve hospital of the American troops In the Philippines, and returned to the United States with the Twentieth Kansas Regiment, Is visiting here. Father Russell pays he believes the Filipinos are not capable of self-government. "If you treat them kindly." he said to-day, "they think you are afraid of them. There Is only one thing that this government can. In my opinion, honorably do. and that is to put .them down by armed force and hold the Islands. I think that within three months Agulnaldo's following will bo annihilated and the war ended." Father Kussrli was In the Philippines eight months. During sixteen montns preceding he traveled through India, China and Africa, ar.d he has traveled extensively In America, but he declares the Philippines is the richest country he has rver visited. SO ISLANDS MISSED. AH Xorth of the Philippine Archipelago Ileloui? to Japan. . WASHINGTON, No. 1. The positive statement is made here that Spain does not retain possession of a single island In the Philippine archipelago. This is called forth by the declaration in the Spanish Cortes, yesterday, of the Count D'Almenas that, through Ignorance, the American commissioners had allowed three Inlands at" the "northern extremity of the archipelago to remain under Spanish control through their definition In the treaty of the boundary of the group. There is stated to be no doubt as to the sufficiency of the treaty clause to cede the entire archipelago. If there has been a failure on this point. that fact will not redound to Spain's benefit, for It is held officially that the Ulands north cf the Philippine archipelago belong to Japan.

ANDERSON. Ind., Nov. 1. The Union Traction Company to-day had experts of all kinds here and selected the site and made the estimates on machinery and cost for the new electrical station for the entire system. It will be located Just outside of the city limits and will be the most complete and largest electrical plant west of Niagara. The building will be fire proof and will cost JSOjOO, while the machinery and other equipment will run above $300,000. Power will be furnished from this plant, not only for the 15S miles of electric railway now In operation, under construction or planned, but for the street-railway systems In Muncle, Anderson. Elwood, Alexandria, Orestes, Marlon and other towns In which the company operates. In addition to this the company proposes to Introduce electricity manufactured here Into all kinds of domestic, commercial and transportation uses in all the towns and cities named. People are to be shown that they can cook, heat their houses and live on electricity better than they can with coal or wood, or even natural gas; that manufacturers can operate their machinery better with electricity and more economically than with natural gas; that glasw can be melted, iron molded and wrought and other wares made with electricity better than with the fuels now in use. The electricity is to be reduced to the rr.inimum in cost and will be furnished for all purposes. The company claims It will be able to light cities cheaper than the cities can lljcht them operating their own plants and can reduce the cost of commercial lighting one-half. Work on the plant will begin at once and it will be ready for operation early In the spring. 1 ALMOST A GUSHER. Stoceker & Xoelllnp: Strike n Barrel Well nt Broad Ripple.

A. 300 (blowers and gatherers) and the Cutters' League and Flatteners Association does not seem to grow les. President Simon Burns, of 1 A. SflO, who is encouraging the building of co-operative window-glass factories, is doing ?o, not for the purpose of fighting the window-glasr trade, but to give the workmen a chance to learn the trades of cutting and flattening. The intention is to build up an organization to replace the members of the Cutters' league of America and the Flatteners Association. In not one of the co-operative factories has he permitted the cutters and flatteners of the above organization to be employed. National President George I Cake, of th Flatteners Association, was here this week. He has plans under way for these organizations to build a window-glr.ss factory in the gas belt for the purpose of teaching the trade of blowing and gathering window glass. They propose to take as apprentices only men who are American citizens and can read and write, holding that intelligent workmen make the best unionists. More than twothirds of the blowers and gath rers In I A. are of the alien element and it was due to the position of the foreign element against the cutters and flatteners, who arv mostly Americans, that the amalgamation cf the foi r trades was disrupted.

(Concluded from FIrat Page.) leers fought against overwhelming odds and upheld the best traditions of the British army the tension haa been relieved since there is no longer ground to dread that the loss of life and men was accompanied by dishonor. The7 details to-day show the catastrophe in a brighter aspect. The full battalions were not engaged, and, therefore, the list of prisoners is materially reduced, while the disaster now arpears not to have been so much the consequence of defects in the plan of action as to a misfortune whereby the column was deprived of its ammunition. Still it seems Incomprehensible why the plight of the luckless column was not known at headcuarters, as the scene of the surrender was only about three miles northwest of Ladysmith and Lieutenant Colonel Carlton must have expected relief to reach him, or. Instead of attempting to occupy a defensive position, he would have retraced his steps to Ladysmith when he suffered the los of his ammunition. Apart from General White's statement that the losses are very numerous there is nothing to Indicate the extent of them, except a vague report to the effect that the soldier who brought the news to Ladysmith said th3 British, dead and wounded were lying In heaps and that hundreds needed doctors. This, however. Is hardly borne out by the long list of captured officers. The concluding sentence of General White's dispatch relative to the safety of Ladysmith was received here with a certain reserve in view of the fact that similar official assurances were given recently In the cases of Dundee and Glencoe, and there is Intense anxiety for further news of the reported renewed attack, which Is not mentioned in the official dispatches. - MEETING OF THE CABINET. Brief Session Followed by n War Conference Xcw Army DIvlIon. LONDON, Nov. 1. The Cabinet meeting to-day was exceptionally brief, but afterwards the defense committee of the Cabinet, consisting of the Duke of Devonshire," A. J. Balfour, the Marquis of Lansdowne and Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, met at the Foreign Office and held a long conference with the commander-in-chief of the forces, Field Marshal Lord Wolseley. It was reported at Aldershot to-day that another complete army division will forthwith be formed for service in South Africa. The division consists of 10.001) men and fifty-four guns. This is possibly a preliminary step towards the calling out of a second army corps. It was learned to-day by a representative of the Associated Press that the British government has been obliged to refuse permission for the United States to send four officers to watch the Transvaal war, owing to the precedent, which only permits ono representative from each recognized power. Captain Stephen L. Hommedieu Slocum, the United States military attache at Lisbon, has been selected. He was in Ixndon to-day buying an outfit and sails on Saturday. Colonel Samuel S. Sumner, the United States military attache here, reniitins in London. Dr. Leyds, the. diplomatic agent of the Transvaal, who is at Brussels, has received the consent of the British secretary of war, the Marquis of Iandowne, to allow a telegram to be sent to Pretoria to ak the number of killed and wounded on the side of the Boers. The calamity at Ladysmith has served to show the British who are their friends. The papers comment on the splendid reserve of patriotism existing in the far-away colonies and the "deep-seated feeling of friendship and sympathy of the great kindred nation across the Atlantic." The Standard sums the feeling of the nation, saying: "From the United States and our colonies alcne we hear the voice of friendly sorrow and enccuraKement. Lut that suffices. All others are welcome to congratulate themselvs over the misfortunes cf Great Britain." The War Office has made a welcome concession to the public desire for news. Hereafter every postofilce will be open Sunday morning and will post copies of ail telegrams received by the War Oitice. up to 1 a. m. Sunday.

SPEECHES BV STATES3IEX. Lord Hamilton Snys Ultimate Victory Is Certain Itowebery'a View. LONDON, Nov. 1. Lord George Hamilton, secretary of state for India, speaking at Ealing this evening regarding the situation In South Africa, said: "Our ultimate victory is certain, and when the terms which we, as victors, will propose to the vanquished are known foreign nations will see that the main cause which has forced us to embark upon this conflict is not a desire of 'pecuniary profit or of territorial aggrandizement, but a determination to emancipate a vast territory for the common benefit of mankind from an ignoble and degrading tyranny." ' Lord Rosebery, toasting "The Army and Navy" at a banquet given this evening by the lord provost of Edinburgh, in that city, to the officers of the Gordon Highlanders and the Scots Greys, referred to the reverse in Natal. He said: "It is much to be regretted, but in a considerable campaign we must look for such Incidents. It is not in the nature of Britona to take much notice of them. We have had a good many of the same kind and have generally got out right In the end. But, whatever happens, we must see this thing through, even if it should cost still more battalions and still more millions. Some day tin re will be an inquisition as to the preparations made for this war, but the time for that is not now. Our duty now is to support those who have the direction of aflairs." The Earl of Selbourne, under secretary of state for the colonies, speaking at Dumfries, said: "It Is not the fault of the statesmen of the Transvaal that we have not become embroiled with some European power. If hostilities had not come when they did they would have come at some moment of national danger and difficulty." Baron Tweedmouth. former parliamentary secretary to the treasury, speaking at Edinburgh, said: "The public mind has not been so moved since the news of the dreadful events of the Indian mutiny. We, unfortunately, are warring with a nation of th3 same stock and religion as ourselves. At this crisis all hearts go out to the brave Boers and to the small British army in Natal, which, against fearful odds, has performed magnificent feats of valor. It is not the time to call our opponents names or to utter cries of vengeance, but to back up her Majesty's ministers, who have a fearful, yes, an awful, responsibility upon their shoulders." The Earl of Carrington. Liberal, speaking at Buckingham, gave expression to virtually the same convictions. The Earl of Lonsdale, honorary colonel of the Third Battalion Border Regiment, at a banquet this evening at Whitehaven, declared his confidence in General Sir George White, the British commander in Natal, and predicts a grand review In Pretoria next March. Referring ta Emperor William's celebrated telegram to President Kruger at the time of the failure of the Jameson raid. Lord Lonsdale said: "If his Majesty's dispatch had been rightly understood it would have had a totally different effect. It was sent with a view of allaying two sores. It was not antagonistic to Great Britain. I have the pleasure to know the views of the German Empeior and they are in accordance with the views of England." In the course of his address Lord Lonsdale said he hoped to go to the front himself .oon with some of his Cumberland and Westmoreland yoemanry. WILL XOT HE FRANCE'S TOOL. Germany Han Decided to Remain Strictly Central. BERLIN. Nov. 1. The Nueste Nachrlchten In the coutse of an article, evidently inspired, says: "Germany has no intention of playing into the hands of France by intervening in the Transvaal. She Intends to pursue a course of absolute neutrality." Replying to the anti-Semitic, PanGerman outcry against the Emperor's expected visit to England, the Nueste Nachrichten remarks: "Although Germans individually may disapprove of England's policy, the actions of the Emperor must be dictated by Germany's interests, which do not allow her unnecessarily to arouse bad feeling in England. It would be a great mistake to prejudice German interests in South Africa by a one-hided attitude in view of the future reorganization of the political situation there. Moreover, the grL-at sea power and the great land power have every reason to co-operate in union and harmony." The TagebJatt says Count Bothmer, president of the German peace societies, has telegraphed to Queen Victoria praying ner to accept the mediation of the United States in the war with the Transvaal. WAXT TO FIGHT THE IIIIITISII. French Society AiiIouk to Asalnt the TraiiMt aalcm. PARIS. Nov. 1. A society has been formed to render assistance to the Transvaal government. Colonel Montell is president and Francois Coppee, Jules Lemaitre. Henri Rochefort and Drumont, proprietor of the Libre Parole, are the honorary presidents. The organization is enrolling volunteers to light for the Boers, and the promoters claim that more than three hundred have volunteered. They have difficulty, however. In iinding the necessary funds, and It Is doubtful whether Dr. Ids, the special representative of the Transvaal government in Europe, will be able to supply these. Under these conditions the wnole movement, whieh is in the most violent svetion of the Nationalists and Anti-Semites, will probably collapse. Troop Milp IHufcr Not Confirmed. LONDON, Nov. 1.

The government has decided to farm out the collection of the likin (transit duty) of the province of Kwang-Lung (Eastern province) for a yearly payment of 4.000.7 taels. Foreigners regard the placing of the taxation of trad in private hands with considerable misgiving and as calculated to impose till heavier burdens on fortign trade with the interior.
